I would start with talking to whom you're going to make your presentation to. Ask them about their feelings/thoughts about the 1911. If they don't approve/like the gun, I guess I would not want to sound like a 3 year old, but one would have to ask them why, then make sure those points are covered.
What one usually runs into, is the person who doesn't know, what they don't know. Therefore education is the key, and whoever is making the presentation better have more than just a casual knowledge of the 1911.
If you have knowledge of the striker fired pistols; Glock, XD & S&W M&P, then you can speak of the gun being cocked as well, its just that one can't see it.
I had a neighboring Chief that didn't like the 1911, thought they were dangerous. he made a comment about mine, and I told him he didn't know, what he didn't know. Then I made a bet with with;
I would unload my 1911, cock the hammer, place the thumb safety in the up or safe position, and I would hand it to him. I told him he would have one shot to get the hammer to fall. He could throw it off a building, hit it with a sledge hammer, or lay it on the Interstate and have a truck run over it.
If the hammer did fall, I would walk away with a broken gun and the conversation would then end. But if the hammer didn't fall, and I told him it wouldn't, I would still walk away with my broken gun, but he had to buy me a 1911 of my choice as well.
He didn't take the bet, such as people that go thru life with closed minds.
It appears that glock35 has some convincing material, I would start there. Just make sure you're not antagonistic during the presentation. Stay calm, answer the questions and let the chips fall as they may. As I said above, you may be making a presentation to closed minds.
If it isn't durable, it isn't reliable.
